I'm currently working on my first Titan, the Cathedral class. It's still a WIP though, and
any suggestions are welcome. I still have to add weapons and modules, but the design is about done.
So, tell me what you think.

Internal structure system should resemble tree more than fork, in my opinion. It would make more sense - blasting away a fragment near the centre but on the outside shouldn't tear away the entire outer armour plating row to the nose/tail.

Although it does looks cool when an entire outer layer of armor just peels off in a chain of explosions. :twisted:

I've already kinda finished it (got a lot of time nowadays)
I'm not putting it up for downloads yet, i'm gonna post it in a fleet.
Anyways, here it is:
Like it?
By the way, I got an excuse for the parenting:
The ship is heavily armed with plasma cannons. Those are directly fed by excess plasma from the ship's 4 fusion reactors. When a section is badly damages, the plasma conduit may also be hit, and it blows. Hence the secondary explosions.

I was instantly reminded of this:
Why are there so litle v'ger pics on the net?

Bwaha! You're right! Now you mention it, it does look like V'ger. But it's not based on it, though. The design was loosely based on the Covenant Assault Carrier. Color scheme is that of the Vilushan fleet( see further treads), in which I'm gonna post this little fella.

Yes! I managed doing something unique! At least I hope...
Anyways, thanks Müg.

Still could use better parenting for the inner section though. And it's not that hard to fix. Look good, but the bad parenting of the entire structure I don't like.

Yes, well, I'm too lazy to change the parenting, to be honest.
By the way, I tested it against Lizzies WCW5, and the secondary explosion thingy just didn't happen. Dunno why, but it didn't.
